Kilkenny’s Lacken Boardwalk Reopens After Major Upgrade

A much-anticipated recreational area in Kilkenny officially reopened yesterday following a significant transformation.

The newly upgraded Lacken Boardwalk now offers a welcoming space for residents and visitors to enjoy walking, running, and cycling in the city.

The improved boardwalk features a wheelchair-accessible pathway, marking an important step towards making Kilkenny more inclusive and disability-friendly.

Sustainability was also a key focus throughout the project, ensuring the area remains a vibrant, eco-conscious space for the community.

KCLR’s Anna Lynch from the newsteam went along to the opening.
